THE GRANT RELICS.

Tho Grant relics, which have been
for several months safely guarded in
one of the private rooms of the Ma
tionai Museum, are now on public ex.
hibition. Recently, two handsome
plush lined cases, filled with articles
from the collection, wero placed in
the north hall of the museum, near
the main entrance. They contained
the presentation swords, gold headed
canes, caskets, medallions, and many
other costly and elegant articles pre-
sented by different people at differ.
ent times to General Grant,. Many
of these articles are souvenirs of his
trip around the world. There is a
splendid collection of Japanese coins,
one series of seven pieces, old Japan
ese gold coins of huge size, being
valued at $4,000. There are also in
yitation cards, menu cards, and re-
minders of entertainments given in
his honor, engrossed on gold plates
One invitation card TOT masked ball

Grants arrival at that city, on his re,
turn from his famous Tour, is engrav.
ed on solid gold, and was inclosed in
silver envelope, with the address
engraved upon it. In the right hand
corner is two cent stamp and in the
left the usual "If not delivered in

shown, besides their historical inter.
est, are Of great intrinsic value.

CLOVER PASTURE.

A nacre of clover, rightly handled
with other feed, will winter dozen
hogs. It should be we'll cured, run
through the cutter and cut fairly fine,
and cooked With With potatoes, turnips
apples, etc. into q slop. II .e.ag good
feed and If fed rightly will bring the
hogs in excellent condition. Clover
is an excellent summer feed for hogs
and hogs will thrive as well on It as
on any other feed in the world. Give
the hogs a small range, SO they will
not run off the flesh, not over five
acres. and better not more than three,
and turn In enough hogs 80 the clover
will not get enough start to mature.
The number of hogs will depend, OF
course, on the growth of the clover.
There should be plenty of water. run
ming Water is always the best. II
the weeds start sheep will eat them
and irthe pasture is too much for
the hogs the cattle or horses will be
pleased to assist in keeping It down.
If grass is used for pasture 1t must be
kept green and juicy AS soon as IT
begins to grow dry it is useless for
hogs, ms is also true of clover. A
few acres ofrye to turn them ON in
the early spring will not hurt them

BUTTER.MAKINa, THEN, AND
NOW.

No branch of rural industry has
met with grenter change in. it's pro-
cesses during the last twenty years
than butter making. Then the milk
was set in shallow. pans upon pantry
shelves, in the cellar. or in rare cases
in a properly constructed nilk-house.
The dash-churn was almost uniyer.
sally in uso, even when dog.power
was employed, The process of churn.
ing was continued until the buttor
was gathered" in mass, which was
then lifted from the clnrn to huge
wooden bowl, and the subsequent
working and sailing were laborious
and damaging to the texture of tho
product. The introduction of i'm
proved crcamors and improved
churns bus changed all that. BY
means of theformer, tho milk is act
in deer cans, cut of from all contact
With tho outside atmosphere and any
possible odors or impurities. In the
modern churns tho butter ia sepa-
rated from the other constituents of
the cream without breaking tho
globulea, and tho process ia arrested
while it is in the granular stage. The
buttermilk is easily drawn of, and
most of the subsequent working and
sailing are done in the churn. 1t is
easier and cheaper to make uniformly
good butter by the modern processes
than it was to mako tolernble butter
by the old and unscioniilio methods.

The deceased had been q sufferer from
complicated disorders of the stomach,
which at times seemed to yield to med

aggravated form. On Wednesday even
ing of last week she was taken violently
worse, and received no surcease from
suffering until death came to her re-
lief on Saturday at 2 Al N.
The funeral was held at the house OH
Monday, at 2P. NJ. and was attended
by very large congregation of friends
of the family in token of the high es-
TEEN in which the young lady was held
The procession of those attending the
last sad rites was one of the largest of
similar nature ever seen in that city.
Miss Brockway was well known to
Audubon people having resided i'll this
city with her sister Mrs. Frank Gleason,
for about four years, during which
time she formed many acquaintance
and endeared herself to all by her many
womanly graces and strength Of char
acter. BY nature her disposition was
amiable and manners graceful, which
traits combined with culture and re-
finement made most exemplary and
lovely character. The many friends in
this city mourn the loss deeply and ex
tend to the relatives sincere and heart

The corn husks prophecy mild win
ter, so much lOnged for by residents of
Iowa. The same open winter has been
foretold for successive years, and has as
regularly failed. However, mild weather
may be reasonably expected the coming
winter, for atmospherical disturbances
have seldom occurred during the past
summer. The storm period has evil
IDENTITY passed, and it may be reasonably
supposed that the winters were more
or less effected by the freaks which
have characterized the weather for sew
eral years. The fall has been of unsur.
passed loneliness. Hardly storm has
interfered with npld work, and the far
mers have improved well the oppor-
tunity.

Let the citizens of Audubon and vi
cinity make an effort to arrange for a
course of lectures for the coming win
ter. a course consisting of six or
eight lectures by learned and emf
nent men could be secured for the same
money that is paid to q third rate
theatrical troupe for an engagement
of q week. 1t would be found quite as
entertaining and many times as instruct
i've, and would serve the community a
good purpose In educating the public
taste to better and nobler things. 1t is
a sad commentary that highly educated
lecturers draw poor paying houses,
while troupes which entertain by rihald
jest and distorted facial expression
meet with success. The public would
be benefited by at least dividing its
patronage.
